    Bob Arum says break even is 800k buys.

    Initially, the belief was that Wilder-Fury 2 needed to do between 1 million and 1.1 million homes for the fight to break-even, but Arum says with closed circuit sales (think: bars, restaurant chains) and gate receipts coming in higher than the models anticipated, break-even is now between 800,000 and 850,000 buys. "We projected $1.65 million in closed circuit sales and as of Wednesday, [revenues] were over $3 million; [the final number] will probably end up over $4 million. We expected the gate to to come in at $12 million or $13 million and [the event is going to do] over $16 million.”

          I finally remembered the password to my original account. I put my old name underneath to make it clear who I am. Not sure how that qualifies as an "alt."

          Do you have anything on topic to add to the thread or do you just like to go **** up threads for no reason?

            Claims he has a 160 IQ and doesn't know what an alt is.

            Are you sat in your 40k condo outside orlando mr bigtime?

            Fat **** did all that claiming he was successful and rich, turns out his home is worth less than Larryx's.

                I think Robbie is upset because he insisted the fight needed over a million buys to break even. When pressed for evidence, he had none, but insisted the cable providers are taking 50% of the PPV money. When pressed for evidence, he had none, so he's just been insulting me instead.

                  Upset? You've been EXPOSED. You claimed you was rich and successful. You aren't.

                  You're a fake bull****ter like i always said you were.
